Review

In single page mini-biographies, every one of these women's accomplishments tell how they impacted the lives of others...my interest was reading about seven women who are featured in the section-Abolitionists and Suffragists. Although Harriet Tubman, Lucretia Mott and Sojourner Truth were known to me, what a pleasant surprise to read about four additional women! For teachers it's an excellent resource for your classes. For parents I recommend this as one additional book on your children's bedside stand for story-time.Never during my youth were there inspirations to learn about any of the women gracing the 160 pages of Carol Simon Levin's book. If I had one prayer to take flight on this Day Without A Woman, it would be for society to open their eyes, hearts and minds. -- Doreen Stratton thebucksundergroundrailroad.com/2017/03/08/international-womens-day/

From the Author

My motivation is to help girls and women (and sympathetic guys) recognize that the vote is precious and we shouldn't take it for granted. I chose to do it by creating a unique coloring book with the hope that coloring might spur curiosity, and that reading the facts, fascinating factoids, and quotes from these amazing women would motivate the people to exercise their voices and their votes alongside their colored pencils! As Carrie Chapman Catt wrote when the 19th Amendment finally passed, "The vote has been costly. Prize it."

Remembering the Ladies is more than just a coloring book with wonderful illustrations from many talented artists; it's also a capsulized treasure trove of information about each of these inspirational women, many of whom are well known, but a number of whom have are not but should be. The author has done significant research to craft easily readable, yet engaging biographical summaries. She's also included interesting factoids, suggestions for further reading for various ages, as well as places to visit and websites for further exploration. All ages can enjoy the book, which would be a valuable addition for any school, library, youth and adult club and organization. While It's already offered at a very affordable price, the author makes it even a better value by giving permission for users to make copies for coloring -- great for teachers and librarians! I highly recommend this most timely addition for 2016!

Simply incredible! Both the illustrations and accompanying text are entertaining and a "sneaky" way to educate children about many of the great women (past and present) who have played integral roles in our history and who are currently shaping our future. I bought a couple of these to give as gifts, but I'm keeping one to have around the house for myself and my teenagers. The cover states that it is "not just a coloring book"; I would also add that the line it's "not just for kids". And it's Prime eligible to boot--I will be ordering more soon!

Chose for two 9 year old cousins (granddaughters). Lots of history--good stories about American women. Most of the 20th Century ladies seem to be Democrats. One of them is Margaret Sanger. This will be fine with one family but possibly not the other. If the parents say anything, I will suggest they rip out that page if they have a problem with it but let her read and color the rest of the book. Also got each of them 12 colored pencils.

Clever, creative and thoroughly researched and illustrated book. Amazing value too. Hard to believe so many of these women are not household names even to older generations. Appropriate for school-aged kids (great resource for kids doing biographies!), youth/scout groups, seniors' groups, community groups. Provides hundreds of hours of coloring fun PLUS hundreds of links to learn more and visit venues featuring these women.
